Kearney pays tribute to Town fans

As Halifax Town prepares for the end of its long history, skipper Tom Kearney has paid tribute to the club's loyal fans.

Kearney is in the same boat as the fans as they await news of the club's fate and has thanked them for their passionate support which he says played a massive part in the team's improved form towards the end of the season.

"The players and the fans all pulled together in the last few games and the support we got was absolutely superb," Kearney told the Halifax Courier.

"The supporters backed us all the way and we really appreciated it and they played a big part in us avoiding relegation.

"We were all celebrating as the fans were after the Stevenage game but after last week we are all in limbo and while it is not a good situation I feel for all the supporters who have backed Town for years because this situation must be awful for them."

Kearney says that, like all the club's contracted players, he was aware of the administrators' statements but was still on tenterhooks regarding the eventual outcome.

"I haven't heard anything further so it's difficult to say anything more," he said.

"There are six of us still under contract I've spoken to most of the other lads but we're all in the same position and they are just waiting for further news just like me."
